The problem is that the profiler only initializes the online
CPUs, and not possible CPUs. This causes issues if the user takes
CPUs online or offline while the profiler is running.
If we online a CPU after starting the profiler, we lose all the
trace information on the CPU going online.
If we offline a CPU after running a test and start a new test, it
will not clear the old data from that CPU.
This bug causes incorrect data to be reported to the user if they
online or offline CPUs during the profiling.
